How To Make An Imperial Fizz Cocktail

How to make an Imperial Fizz cocktail. One of those few really good cocktails based on whiskey, the Imperial Fizz is something every whiskey fan should try. It's also sometimes called a Whiskey Fizz for obvious reasons and should only be made with a good blended whiskey. Some recipes also add a half ounce to a full ounce of light or dark rum and there is also a recipe with chilled champagne and one and half ounces of bourbon and no whiskey, but for the sake of simplicity the simplest and most common recipe is provided here. If you want to try it with other ingredients, you can just add the rum, or substitute the whiskey with bourbon and add champagne instead of club soda.

2 oz. Blended whiskey

1 oz. Lemon juice

1/2 tsp Superfine sugar
